As it may seem as a winter comes, everyone becomes jolly and bright, but that is not always the case. It seems as if school being canceled for snow would be fun until secrets are shared. One person could have a whole different view of “Let It Snow” than someone else’s view. “Let It Snow” was a great story and used intriguing techniques. David Sedaris has a superb piece by showing the story’s point, the overall mood and tone, and how the story has a lasting effect. Sedaris’s point of this story…

Although we are technically considered adults when we turn 18, most of us begin to transition to adulthood much sooner.

She has always been a follower and the person she follows the most happens…
